Ahh Sunday...Started the day at Cafe Pick Me up145 Avenue A - right across from Tompkins Square parkThe perfect spot to read the NY Times on Sunday morning

Me visiting The High line - the amazing new Park built on top of a former railroad line. It runs from Gansevoort St. in the Meatpacking District to West 34th St. bet 10 & 11 Aves. The design was a collaboration between landscape architecture + urban design firm James Corner Field Operations + architecture firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro. I was blown away by it's beauty. (A must on your next NYC trip!)

The incredible Standard Hotel which straddles the Highline.I found it creepy looking - in kinda a good way)(Has become famous for it's exhibitionist hotel guests!)One example of the incredible new architecture you can view from Highline.(A lot of gutsy stuff has been built in last 5 years - exciting)

Dinner Later at the charming Tipsy Parson in ChelseaTipsy Parson contained THE best bathroom I've ever seenAmazing black + white wallpaperGreat lighting + sinks!(The photo does not do it justice!)I know Margot Austin would approve of this photo. She also takes pictures of bathrooms. :-)Late night visit to the Maritime Hotel so that I could view the Josef Frank fabric in the lobby!Closeup of a chairThis is Frank's Manhattan pattern which he designed after emigrating here.

On way home through the West Village I read Jonathan Adler's manifesto in his window.This quote has always been a favourite.
